Become a tennis pro in time for Wimbledon

words by Hazel Lubbock

To coincide with the start of Wimbledon, Four Seasons Hotel
Hampshire has introduced new tennis programs for guests.

Running throughout summer, players of all ages can take part in
individual or group sessions lead by Peter Burwash International -
a first for the UK. Tennis pro Ulli Nganga, previous practice
partner of John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Pat Cash and Pete Sampras,
will be at the helm to help players work on their forehand and
offer training tips and advice.

Although Nganga reached a UK singles ranking of 9, novices
shouldn't be put off. Children can take part in junior programs and
adults can take part in one-on-one sessions to ease into the sport.
There will also be competitive tournaments for the more advanced
sportsmen and women.

"We chose PBI for their experience and high quality of tennis
instruction," says General Manager Charlie Parker "they are the
perfect partner for Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire and will introduce
an exciting new dimension to our guest activities" - a view also
taken by Peter Burwash, President of Peter Burwash
International.

Burwash commented: "The tennis program [at Four Seasons Hotel
Hampshire] will provide those guests with the same level of
exceptional service and quality experiences they enjoy from the
hotel itself."

Within the vast grounds (500 acres!) of Four Seaons there are two
all-weather tennis courts as well as an equestrian centre and
shooting range. For the less adventurous, there is an award-winning
spa - nominated, in fact, for the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Spa Awards 2011.
